The Mission of the Nebraska State Council for the Social Studies
Our organization will assume a leadership role in education in Nebraska, create a collaborative space for all Social Studies organizations in the state to operate, and to serve the interest of members of the National Council for the Social Studies and this state's affiliation.
Welcome back to a new school year!
All of us at NSCSS wish you the very best in the 2026-27 school year! Please contact us if we can help with your social studies curriculum or professional development needs. Take a look at the Teacher Resources tab above. There are many new listings under the Professional Development/Travel category. You may also want to check the Contests/Competitions tab for opportunities for you and your students. Check back regularly for new postings.
We hope to see you at the Durham Museum on Friday, October 2, for the annual Teachers' Night. Stop by our table! Haven't registered yet? https://durhammuseum.org/teachers-night/
And, we really hope you will attend the annual GeoFest, a joint conference with our colleagues from the Geographic Educators of Nebraska (GEON), on Saturday, November 14. Breakout sessions will feature many social studies disciplines. Go to the Annual Conference tab to register. We are also seeking presenters. The same tab allows you to submit a proposal to share your knowledge with colleagues from Nebraska and western Iowa. You can also nominate a colleague for one of several NSCSS awards by going to the same tab. We enjoy recognizing great social studies teachers for their efforts!

Happy New Year!
